1. I already saw the speeches. This is a great statement as to what |
|
America stands for. Talking about his break in journalism: when white women in Texas refused to pay SS taxes for the maids... These women could only see their own self interest.

6. How old you would be if you didn't know how old you was? A famous |
|
black baseball player that had to play in the Negro league when newspaper people asked about his age. (sorry, I know NOTHING about baseball or famous players so I don't remember the name). Moyers is talking about age now...

10. Nattering know nothings of talk radio!!!! echo chamber of RW ideology. |
|
Promote RW ideas and come after anybody that dares offer a conflicting opinion. FAIRNESS doctrine: REAGAN said TV was a toaster? I didn't know that.
110 hours of RW talk radio versus 10 hours of liberal talk radio.
YOU NEVER GET EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY IN RW IDEOLOGICAL QUASI OFFICIAL PUBLICITY AND PROPAGANDA ORGANIZATIONS.

13. widespread broadband will be our salvation |
|
dialup requires that you spread info by reading. Not enough people will read long enough to get all the info we need to give them.
We need widespread broadband so that audiovisual info can be disseminated via peer to peer networks.

You've got Francis Fukuyama of PNAC and who knows what other think tanks in Washington. Compare and contrast Moyers and Fukuyama.
Good day on BookTV though. Later in the day, about 5pm I believe, a panel with Al Franken, RFK Jr, and a few others talking about various current issues.
Robert Byrd also at some point.
Good way to spend what's supposed to be a rainy day.
